Summariesfor LHX6 gene

This gene encodes a member of a large protein family that contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich

zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein may function as a transcriptional regulator and may be involved in the

control of differentiation and development of neural and lymphoid cells. Two alternatively spliced transcript

variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants

have been identified, but their biological validity has not been determined. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)
